Ryanair Graduate Assessment Practice

Ryanair — Future Flyer / mentored pilot pathway. Candidates for this track are commonly reported to sit an online assessment delivered by Aon (formerly cut-e) as an early screening step.

Why Ryanair uses Aon

The Aon battery measures the cognitive and special abilities airlines care about — numbers, reasoning, monitoring, multitasking and spatial awareness — under tight time limits. Practising the exact formats removes surprises on the day.

Also known as cut-e, Aon online assessment. Last reviewed 2026-03-23.

Tips for the Ryanair assessment

  • Do every module in one quiet session with a stable internet connection — most tests cannot be paused.
  • Speed matters but accuracy matters more: wrong answers usually cost you, skipped ones do not.
  • For monitoring, multitasking and reaction tests, stay calm and keep a steady rhythm rather than rushing.
  • Practise each format at least twice so the instructions feel familiar before the real test.
  • Check your invitation email for the exact modules — batteries change between hiring waves.
